That is the best news I’ve heard from NYR in 4 years. Gorton did a crumby job assembling this team and JD is a dope. Next get rid of that college hockey coach. Dolan, like the rest of the NYR fan base, is probably pissed because the team is so soft despite being able to put up offense and have a great goal differential. The rosters have been way too soft and there is no reason to be playing scrubs like PDG, Bitetto, Johnson, etc when they could have other guys fills those roles. What happened Monday was an embarrassment and JD , DQ and JG were responsible for it
piece of shit soft teams. I told you guys I’ve watch maybe 25 games in the last 3 years because the teams sucked and were boring. Dickhead Quinn not playing our #1 and #2 picks late in games.

How many times over the years have we wanted to see a Ranger kill Crosby, Ovi, Malkin, etc for shit they pull on the ice. But! You can’t! There are those unwritten rules. As Avery said in his book (I know you hate him Dump)as a rookie he was admonished by Brett Hull and the rest of the Wings bench “You do not talk to Mr. Sakic like that.” Here, we have one of the best players the Rangers have ever had on their roster get thrown around and slapped around by Wilson and nobody does shit. Imagine if that was Crosby or McDavid. Imagine if Panarin hit his head and that was the end of his career. We’ve seen it with Sauer and Boogaard
Disagree with you there. This team is stacked with young talent, so much so it needs to consolidate via trade because there aren't enough spots for everyone. In my opinion these firings are a year too early as i think this summer is when they would have had to make that big move for a top center and see if this team can contend.
The unfortunate thing is a new guy will come in and shake the tree for the sake of shaking it and putting his stamp and it may not be the best thing.
Also, how do you fire them but not the coach?

Dolan is such a dope. He has no business being a (multiple! *thanks, dad!*) professional sports team owner. Can't wait until his reign is over.
With all due respect, anyone who thinks this is a positive is an idiot. This is the worst news we have received in a LONG time. Candidly this sours me on everything we are doing. How in the holy F does Dolan fire JD and Gorton? He has always stayed out of the Rangers business, and now he goes and does this. Disgraceful.
Do you realize what happened here. He issues a letter 3 years ago (Dolan signed onto the letter), we build and grow faster than anyone could have expected, of course we were going to struggle to win for a few years (you don't issue a self-proclaimed rebuild letter and then not expect losing seasons and missing the playoffs), and right when we were about to turn the corner and see the fruits of the labor (again faster than ANYONE could expect in year 4), he fires everyone.
Every Rangers fan should be down today, because this set us back big time, and shows how disfunctional we are. We are a joke of an organization and are totally F'd.
DISGRACE!!!

This is SPOT ON. Absolutely a year too early. If the Rangers struggled next year all 3 of them (I include Quinn) could have been gone, but to do it now right on the edge of big things is ridiculous. We are a total laughing stock of an organization...period.
To me the coach is a formality now. Guessing he didn't fire him also since it's a game day and 3 games left. Let him finish it out and then gone.
And oh BTW - you fire them with 3 games left - that's bush league. At least wait until next week if you were going to be a joke and fire everyone.
I disagree. I think this is great news. Again, we don't know what happened between Monday and today. I am sure the Wilson incident has something to do with this. If players went to Quinn and management and Gorton/JD did nothing then I understand.
If the new guy IS Drury then I don't see a tree shaking to put his stamp on things. He's been the assistant for a while now and I think he'll make a solid GM. Not sure why Davidson got canned, this smells of Dolan wanting Quinn out and both guys disagreeing with him. Then he leaves Quinn because the season is over in 3 games.
With all due respect strud, you are ignorant on this. The team went into a self-proclaimed rebuild 3 years ago. If you expected wins and cups that's on you. PATIENCE...and we were doing an AWESOME job of being patient and staying the course and sticking to the plan, and building an epic base of talent that simply needed to be finished off this summer. And then Dolan does this and sets it all back.
It also shows how much of a scum bag Dolan is. Sends a letter saying rebuild and patience, then he fires his GM and President less then 3 full seasons later, and JD in 2 years - after you F'ING kidding me. He is a disgrace and I am really fearful no one will want to come work for a guy who cannot be trusted at all. Look at how he has killed the Knicks until this year where he has stayed out of it. This is very concerning.
Up until today I have always said for hockey Dolan is fine as an owner, he just kills my Knicks. That all changed today my friends.

This is probably why they got canned.. Seems the letter sent to the NHL offices complaining about Parros being ineffectual came from Dolans office, not Quinn or Davidson.
New York Rangers fire GM Jeff Gorton, president John Davidson, source says (espn.com)

If I'm being honest I thought Quinn wasn't doing a good job. I don't see why you'd fire the GM/President who have pretty much stacked the team with talent. My only guess is Dolan got angry with them and wants tougher people in those spots and probably at the HC spot as well. I'd be just fine with Drury and Messier in those roles. Davidson was basically invisible in his President's role. Again I wouldn't have fired either of them, I wanted Quinn out.
Here's the miss - this season, last season, the season prior had NOTHING to do with wins and losses and making the playoffs. AGAIN - you don't issue a letter saying we are rebuilding, and then have the youngest team in the NHL, have almost no vets, all young dmen, new goalies etc. and then fire the people running things. That is a disgrace. You cannot say have patience this is a reboot for long term gain, and then fire everyone in less than 3 seasons. JOKE.
Hey NYR Fan,
Yes, if we develop according to plan, but we are not. Stupid Quinn is not developing this Quinn correctly, which is what we have been complaining about all season. If JD/Gorton would not part with Quinn, then Dolan had no choice.
Quinn is a bad coach. He did not develop this team and pieces the right way. LFA should not have been playing on the 3rd line. LFA 1st line, Kakko 2nd, Gauthier 3rd, and when Kravtsov came back, he should not have been on the 4th line at all this year. So I am not sure what you are talking about.

Look at this line: It's a stunning move considering the Rangers are just on the tail end of a rebuild, one they completed ahead of schedule.
SPOT ON. And if Dolan went around everyone and sent his comments on Parros, once again he is a JOKE. He is the issue here, and today is a disgraceful day.

You have got to be kidding me with this. Forget your Quinn nonsense, but you think Dolan goes rogue and is a joke, as he always has been owning the Knicks, and fires JD and Gorton because they don't want to fire Quinn, and then he keeps Quinn.
PLEASE STOP...I AM BEGGING YOU.

Today has nothing to do with the coach, and everything to do with a joke of an owner. Firing everyone as we were on the edge of winning and doing big things. Forget how one feels about the coach, he's good - he stinks - he's in the middle, whatever. Today is about a joke of an owner.

I don't disagree, but I wonder what that means. Dolan went rogue and wrote the letter and JD/Gorton opposed and got fired for it? The other way around? Dolan was angry because we didn't have a goon? I don't know the connection, but it seems to be a big coincidence if no connection.
Like I wrote - Dolan is an unprofessional disgrace, and JD/Gorton ran away from his nonsense, and he fired them. That is a good look for future top people wanting to work for him, sure he'll get the best of the best - joke. It's the same nonsense he pulls with the Knicks. He is a disgrace, and 10000000000% the issue.
According to Frank Seravalli, “Sources say that #NYR president John Davidson and GM Jeff Gorton scurried to distance themselves from the team statement that was issued on Tuesday night, telling other executives that they did not know it was in the works until after it was released.”

Really idiotic, rash stuff from Dolan either way. And i don't doubt that Drury will be a good GM in time, but Gorton was doing a solid job. Did Dolan really think the team would be a SC cup contender in year 3 with the average age the youngest in the league and goalie who's played 1/2 a season overall? Gotta be something more behind the scenes.

Which is even more of a disgrace. Underachieved - YOU WROTE A LETTER 3 YEARS AGO SAYING REBOOT AND PATIENCE AND THEN FIRE THE PRES AND GM IN YEAR 3 WHEN THEY ARE ON THE EDGE OF BIG THINGS - UNREAL.
And JD was here for like 2 years, and you fire a franchise icon. Are you serious. Dolan is a disgrace.

Ok, well that at least explains it, even though it doesn't make it any less moronic on Dolans part.
Friedman just tweeted:
Chris Drury will be President & GM of NYR.
So you fire JD and Gorton to give everything to unproven and untested Drury. Are you serious!!!
The youngest team in the NHL, a ton of talent, stocked system, ton of cap space, 3 or 4 moves this summer away from being big time, and you fire the Pres and GM for an unproven untested guy.

You're fucking delusional. Seriously. Out of your mind. Tell us how the season would have been any different with the proposed lineup of LFA on the 1st, Kakko on the 2nd and Gauthier (GAUTHIER!!!!) on the 3rd line and then shoe horn Kravtsov on one of the top three lines. You have no clue how to develop talent.
Let's stack the entire lineup with 18-20 year old kids and run them up against teams like Boston, the Islanders, the Flyers, the Capitals. Watch them get their heads kicked in every game and then marvel at how much they would have developed in that scenario. Get a fucking clue dude.
You have got to protect your young highly talented players as much as possible and challenge them in the right moments. This season was still a success by finishing 5th. Young players got valuable ice time in important situations and showed their talents. Several young players showed improvement this year...Buch, Fox (norris trophy finalist if not winner), Lindgren, Miller, Kakko. Hell, even Strome had a very good season.
Did Gorton and JD fuck up by not adding some grit and toughness, yeah. But last time I checked none of the injuries these guys are dealing with have any long term concerns. They have the off-season to address those needs.
The bottom line is Dolan is a fucking tool. He's a hack who has been DISMAL as a professional sports team owner. He garners no respect from insiders and outsiders alike in either sport. He is a punch line. He should do the Rangers, Knicks and entire MSG family a favor and throw himself out of a window.

Agreed. Maybe also because they were eliminated from playoff contention at the same time but I think that is just coincidence.
Spot on Grey. Hate the coach, that is fine, but today has NOTHING to do with the coach. That has already been proven with all the reports out there. Today is about out of control impatient awful owner impulsive Dolan...period.
